Cavi Lipo: Before and After Care for Ultrasonic Cavitation

Before Scheduling Cavi Lipo Treatment

• Notify Smooth Synergy® if you are pregnant or have thrombosis, phlebitis, a seizure disorder/s, cancer, metal plate or implants and/or a pacemaker or other electrical device implant. They are contraindicated to Ultrasonic Lipo Cavitation and another treatment from our comprehensive menu should be selected to meet your skincare goals.

Before Your Ultrasonic Treatment

• Stay hydrated for at least 24 hours before your appointment.

• Avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine, and eat a light, healthy meal.

• Refrain from applying heavy lotions or oils to the treatment area.

• Avoid tanning, waxing, or any aggressive skin treatments in the area to be treated for at least a week prior. If you have medical conditions or take medications, consult your provider beforehand.

The Day of Your Ultrasonic Cavitation Session

• Hydrate well before arriving for your appointment.

• Comfortable, loose clothing is recommended. This makes it easy to access the treatment area and helps you stay relaxed during the session.

Post-Care for Cavi Lipo After Your Session

• Hydrate well — Ultrasonic Lipo Cavitation is a fat-metabolizing and detoxifying procedure, so maintaining adequate hydration levels is essential.

• Follow a light diet — Eat a low-fat, low-carbohydrate, and low-sugar diet for 24 hours to aid in fat metabolism.

• Cardio exercise — Light cardio is encouraged to improve detoxification.

• Avoid alcohol and nicotine for 24 hours.

• Avoid extreme temperatures — No saunas, hot tubs, or very hot/cold showers for 24 hours.

• Shower and cleanse — You may shower and gently cleanse the treatment area immediately.

• Massage the treated area gently to promote circulation and lymphatic drainage.

• Wear loose clothing to avoid friction on the treated area.

• Continue hydration throughout the following 48 hours to maximize results.

• Monitor your body — Report any unusual pain, redness, or swelling to your provider.

Post-Treatment Expectations After Ultrasonic Lipo Cavitation Session

• Treatment safety — This treatment is generally considered safe. You may return to normal activity following treatment.

• Minor side effects — Most side effects from the treatment should not be cause for alarm. Symptoms are usually minor and should subside in time, as a normal part of the healing process.

• Detoxification reactions — Although uncommon, some people experience a detoxification reaction similar to a deep tissue massage. Symptoms include fatigue, nausea, and drowsiness, which usually resolves within 1-2 days. Maintaining adequate hydration levels can minimize this effect.

• Contact your provider — If you are concerned about any aspect of your post-treatment recovery, please call Smooth Synergy® at 212-397-0111.

• Rest as needed — Light activity is fine, but allow your body to rest if you feel fatigued.

• Track your symptoms — Note any persistent or unusual reactions and report them to your provider.

• Stay hydrated — Continue drinking plenty of water over the next 48 hours to support detoxification and recovery.

Yes, Ultrasonic Cavitation works. This non-invasive treatment combines three modalities to target and reduce localized fat deposits:

1. Ultrasound Cavitation — Utilizes low-frequency sound waves to disrupt the fat cell membranes and release their contents into the lymphatic system for natural elimination.

2. Radiofrequency (RF) — Emits controlled thermal energy to heat the dermal layers, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This tightens and firms the skin, enhancing overall body contour.

3. Microcurrent Therapy — Delivers low-level electrical currents to stimulate cellular activity, promoting tissue repair and toning muscles. This improves skin texture and elasticity.

As a result of these three processes in tandem, you can expect:

• Smoothing the surface of the skin — Ultrasonic waves break down fat cells, which are naturally processed and eliminated by the body.

• Lifting and defining the body — Targeted fat reduction and collagen stimulation help contour and tighten treated areas.

• Revealing a shapely contour — Fat cells are permanently disrupted, allowing underlying muscle tone and shape to become more visible.

• Targeting stubborn cellulite — Ultrasound helps break up fibrous tissue and improve circulation, reducing the appearance of cellulite.

You will notice immediate results after your first session, including smoother, tighter, and more toned skin. After a series of sessions, you will see:

• Increased skin elasticity

• Improved skin texture

• A reduction in cellulite

• A loss of inches in the treatment area

• A lifted and more defined figure

We generally recommend a series of around 8–10 sessions, followed by a maintenance program to be determined by you and the esthetician.
